Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are notorious for their itchy and irritating bites, but they're also vectors for diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus. These tiny insects thrive in stagnant water and are known for their distinctive high-pitched buzzing sound.
Ticks
Ticks are blood-feeding parasites that can transmit diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever to humans and animals. They attach themselves to their hosts, often hiding in tall grass or wooded areas, waiting for an opportunity to latch onto passing animals or humans.
Fleas
Fleas are small, jumping insects that infest the fur of mammals, particularly dogs and cats. Their bites can cause severe itching and discomfort, and fleas are known to transmit diseases like bubonic plague in some regions.
Flies
Flies encompass a wide variety of species, including house flies and fruit flies. They are known for their ability to carry disease-causing pathogens on their bodies and can contaminate food. House flies, in particular, are attracted to decaying organic matter.
Ants
Ants are social insects that live in colonies and are known for their teamwork. While most ants are harmless, some species can be pests in and around homes, invading food stores and causing damage. Carpenter ants, for instance, can damage wooden structures.
Chiggers
Chiggers are tiny mites that infest tall grass and vegetation. When they come into contact with human or animal skin, they can cause intense itching and welts. Chiggers inject digestive enzymes into their host's skin to feed on the damaged tissue.
Midges
Midges are small, flying insects that are often mistaken for mosquitoes due to their similar appearance. They are known for forming large swarms near bodies of water and can be a nuisance to humans, though they are typically harmless. Some midges, such as biting midges, can deliver painful bites.
